Making the most of Cape Royds
Use these notes to shape a realistic day ashore, then confirm any time-sensitive information for the date of your call.
01
Arriving at the port
Ships cannot berth here, so inflatable Zodiac boats tender passengers ashore from the vessel.
02
Sightseeing
The surviving explorer huts show the hardships endured by Antarctic pioneers: Shackleton's is at Cape Royds and Scott's at Cape Evans. New Zealand Antarctic Society maintains both, leaving them as originally found, including bales of hale for horses and seal meat for huskies.
